Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Carrots
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 cup Dry Marsala wine
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Pine nuts
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and trim the carrots. Slice them diagonally into 1/4-inch thick rounds for an elegant presentation.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and frothy.
Add the sliced carrots to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and develop a light golden color.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Pour the Marsala wine into the skillet, followed by the honey, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together to coat the carrots evenly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and the wine has reduced to a glossy glaze that coats the vegetables.
While the carrots are cooking, toast the pine nuts. Heat a small dry skillet over medium heat, add the pine nuts, and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the carrots are cooked through and well-glazed, remove the skillet from heat.
Transfer the Marsala-glazed carrots to a serving dish. Sprinkle the toasted pine nuts over the top and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve warm and enjoy your gluten-free Marsala Glazed Carrots with Pinenuts as a delicious side dish.
